There is a fearful state Of things in
Tongo. This country, with its King, had
become Wesleyans, but one of their mis-
sionaries had to be recalled because OF
some bad conduct, but was afterwards
permitted to resign, and he became Prime
Minister to the old and feeble King.
This man Baker became bitter enemy
to the Wesleyans, set up State Church
and tried to break up the Wesleyans.
Being a bold, bad man, he has carried his
prosecutions to great lengths, and has
recently had number OF persons exc
cuted i'm the most cold-blooded manner.

1t is strange how some good people
offer their hospitality. For instance, a
brother says to the preacher: You
must come and see me sometime" He
don't say '.go with me today" Another
will wait till he sees another brother ask
you, and will then come up and say,
HLook here, when are you going with
me?" answered this last inquiry of a
man who had several times asked the
same question, under similar circum-
stances: 81 am going the first time you
invite me to go.'' He promptly said :
"Well, 60 next time" OF course ac-
cepted the invitation. I have only occa-
sionally felt that an invitation was given
which was not hearty.-Lyc RccoHectionS,
